Measurement package configuration - example
The following example based on calculation of AV CO (Cardiac
Output by Aortic Flow) describes how to configure the
measurement package so that necessary measurements and
the resulting calculations are displayed on screen.
Calculation of Cardiac Output by Aortic Flow requires the
measurement of:
• AV diameter located in the folder
Dimension
(2D mode)
• AV VTI located in the folder
Aortic
(Doppler AV Trace).
• Heart rate
If a calculated parameter (e.g. AV CO in AV Trace
measurement) requires another parameter to be calculated (e.g.
AV Diam) the user must first measure the required parameter
(e.g. AV Diam) before the dependent parameter (e.g AV CO in
AV Trace) gets calculated.
Configuration of the Measurement menu
If the AV diameter measurement is not present in the folder
Dimension
in the
Measurement
menu, follow the following
procedure:
1. Press Utility / Config on the Touch panel and select the
category Measure/Text .
The
Measurement menu
sheet is displayed (Figure 12-10).
2. AV Diam is a 2D measurement, make sure that 2D is
